Sleep is not needed to rest but rest is needed to sleep.
For me, resting is a quick way to shift my negative thoughts to better feeling thoughts.
I aim to include a high percentage of my thoughts as positive ones and to do that I need to take good self-care measures such as enough rest, nutrition, hydration, and motion.
Today is a prime example of taking the necessary steps to get the rest I need. I felt like I was doing and experiencing too much and wanted to take today and perhaps tomorrow as rest days to nurture and fill up my cup. I am planning to be off social media for a few days. I also see a nap in my future, I’m listening to soothing sounds and I am writing which always replenishes me. I’ve also been for a walk with my dog and spent time out in the yard enjoying the warm sunshine and beauty at my fingertips.
How do you get the rest you need?
Here are some ideas:
Ways to Rest
· Soothe yourself
· Nap
